Buyer perspective:

Accounts Payable  4700 credit

--to record purchase--    

Accounts Payable1600 debit

Inventory  1600 credit

--to record returned goods--  

Accounts Payable3100 debit

Inventory  31 credit

Cash     3069 credit

--to record payment within discount--  

Explanation:

The freights are being paid by the seller as the FOB shipping point the goods are in their possesion until arrive at destination thus, it should assume the trasnportation cost

Account balance:

4700 invoice - 1600 return = 3,100

discount 1% of the balance: 31

cash outlay considering the discount

3,100 - 31 = 3,069

x=3

step-by-step explanation:

this is really simple i saw that there was only one term (5x) and thought if that was 15 what would i have to multiply everything else to get it there? well if 5x became 15 then x would have to be 3 so plug the 3 in the x for the other equations and you get 15 for the other ones. so there you go. : )
